Love is

I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you. --- Unknown

Waiting on I800

So Our LOA was signed, copied and sent back to our agency, and our I800 was sent and received last Thursday. We should have approval before the first of Nov, maybe sooner!

We have a concert coming up, and my sister and I are making adorable Christmas bows, I will post a picture soon. We are also still collecting cans. I am so thankful to White Oak and the surrounding cities for collecting these cans and dropping them off in our yard. It makes my heart swell everytime I see new bags in the yard. I am blessed to know all of you care so much for our family and getting our babies home with us. :) THANK YOU!

Please pray we can get our flooring and get it installed, the kids room needs carpet and we need to finish the floors in rest of the house, we had to pull the really really really old carpet out due to smell, and issues it was causing with allergies in the family. We also need to close up the brick on the corners of the house left open when we removed the wings... Most of all keep praying our baby home, we are praying and hoping he is here before this year is over.

Orphan Scriptures

Deuteronomy 10:18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing amoung you, giving them food and clothing.

Deuteronomy 24:19-22 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.

Deuteronomy 26:12 & 13 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. Then say to the LORD your God: "I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, according to all you commanded. I have not turned aside from your commands nor have I forgotten any of them.

In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

Isaiah 1:17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. [fn] Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.

John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you

Psalm 10:14 But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

Psalm 10:17&18 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

Psalm 146:9 The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
